Hi Mark!
It would be with the new forms. I currently have a button on a report that ideally, when clicked, it would only show that specific section of the form.
I was thinking if I altered the formula of the button to essentially say when clicked, go check this box. Then in the form rules I could say what you mentioned above. I didn't even think that I could put into the form rules to uncheck from there.
Not sure if that logic is sound and would work or if this isn't possible.

Qrew LegendIf new forms support a form rule that says when the record is saved, change a checkbox field to unchecked, then i could help you write a button which would edit the record, uncheck the box and then display the record in edit mode.

It does look like I can add that to the form rules.

Ok, so the button would be like
var text CheckTheBox = URLRoot() & "db/" & dbid()
& "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#];
& "&_fid_99=1"
var text DisplayInEditMode = URLRoot() & "db/" & dbid() & "?a=er&rid=' & [Record ID#];
$CheckTheBox
& "&rdr=" & URLEncode($DisplayInEditMode)
That code is not tested so if there are some syntax errors please post the code and whatever error message there is.
